"Now a major motion picture"--Cover
"Anna is not sick, but she might as well be.

Subject: Couldn't put it down...
I picked up this book because it was on a list for books that handle multiple POVs well and I ended up getting sucked into this beautiful story of a family doing everything it can to stay intact while the threat of death is doing everything to tear them apart.
Picoult writes like poetry. She handles the subject of illness, death, and family with orchestrated finesse. One of the best books I've read in a while.
